Litigation Support & e-Disclosure

AuditingForensicReports

Police Forensic Reports are often the main material evidence in criminal cases, and

other Expert Reports are used in both criminal and civil courts.

Being on the receiving side of such reports requires an expert response. It is often the

best defence to attack other forensic reports for errors, biases and lack of evidence or

data analysis.

Strathclyde Forensics has years of experience in providing analysis and evidence

against police forensic and expert reports, to the degree that these may be rendered

inadmissible in court.

Auditing of Police Forensics and other Experts' Reports

Strathclyde Forensics provide tailor made CPD courses to solicitors and other professionals. Some of the areas covered by our courses (but not limited to) are:

Data Recovery

Hard disks, media cards and all storage devices at some point are bouond to fail. When disaster strucks you need to be prepared. If you do not have viable backup of a cetain piece of data, you need to know that you stand a good chance of recovering your precious data.

Strathclyde Forensics offers ad hoc or support contracts to provide you with the peace of mind you need.

Due Diligence

Digital Evidence is something new for many legal professionals. It is easy to misinterpret or ignore its presence and its weight on a particular case. It is however important to make sure that your clients interests are best served, and that you will avoid future complaints or liability for malpractice.

Contracting Strathclyde Forensics will guarantee that your cases have been investigated for the presence of digital evidence and that action is taken when necessary. This will make all the difference to your clients and will enjoy the best service possible.

Permanent Data Destruction

Whether you want to destroy some or all the data in a drive, whatever the reason you need to do it, Strathclyde Forensics will use military standards software to sanitize your hard disk drives and make sure that your private or business data are not recoverable. You may be selling your computer, or your business, returning one to a friend or ex partner, or simply returning a business computer: make sure your private story remains exactly that....private.

We also provide a certification service, to prove that specific data has been permanently removed from your device.

Working with Universities

Parents & Schools

With children getting online and using computers and game consoles from an early age, it is imperative that schools and parents stay abreast of the technology their children have access to.

This is not always easy, as not all parents have the relevant IT skills, and children are very good at finding their ways around security.

Strathclyde Forensics provide training and advice to parents and teachers, to help them prepare. And if something does go wrong, we are here to help you and guide you resolve any problem your loved ones are found in.
